Session, as well as to thole subjects which I have from time to time brought under your consideration. Intimately ac quainted as you necessarily are with the actual condition of the province, I do not allow myself.to doubt that those ques tions have been disposed of in the manner most accordant with its true interests. " I thank you in her Majesty's name for the liberality with -which you hove granted the supplies for the various exigencies of the public service, and more especially for having made a suitable provision for the important office of Master of the Rolls; and I will add in my own name, and in that of my suc cessors in the administration of this Government, for the great attention which has been paid to the accommodation of her Majesty's representative, in the thorough repairs mane, and furniture added, to the Government House. " It only remains for me to assure you that it will be my endeavour to apply your appropriations to their respective oh . - jects, with a due attention to that just economy which appears to me to consist in giving the fullest effect to the service in view, without unnecessary expense to the public. " Upon the result of your joint labours I offer you my con gratulations, and, above all, I wish to record my approbation of that spirit of cordiality and unanimity which has charac terized all your proceedings. " The Legislative duties of the Session appear to me to have been conducted in the true spirit of that revered Consti tution to which the people of this province have on so many occasions shown their zealous attachment, and which I am con vinced it will be your care and your determination to transmit unimpaired to your descendants. " In releasing you from further attendance upon your Legis lative duties, I look forward with satifaction and confidence to again meeting you in Provincial Parliament at the usual period, or whenever the state of public affairs may appear to me to require that you should be convened. " In concluding this address, I advert with feelings of proud emotion to your joint resolution, which has just been presented to me, placing at my disposal the sum of 10,0001. fer the pur pose of enabling me to meet any emergency which may arise out of the state of affairs now existing betwixt the British and American Governments, in consequence of the lawless and hostile proceedings of the armed banditti by which 'the fron tiers of Upper and Lower Canada are threatened from the United States, and for the object of preserving that connec tion with the mother country which is so warmly cherished by the inhabitants of this province. " Gentlemen,—By England's Queen—by the British people —and by your loyal fellow-subjects of these and every other colony of this vast empire—will your noble conduct at this crisis be duly appreciated. " For myself I can no otherwise repay the confidence which you have been pleased to repose in me than by devoting my utmost energies to the glorious cause of preserving our soil from violation by hostile foreigners, and of maintaining to the loyal inhabitants of these truly British colonies the blessings of British connexion, for which they hare so unequivocally evinced their attachment and preference." • MILITIA GENERAL ORDER. HEAD-QUARTERS, FREDERICTON, FEB. 27. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor and Commander in Chief, considering it important to render the militia artil lery of the province efficient and available with as little deiay as possible, has been placed to appoint Captain Richard Hayne, on the half-pay of the Royal Staff Corps, and formerly of the Royal Artillery, to be Lieut.-Colonel Commandant of the said Militia Artillery. His Excellency has been further pleased to direct, that this arm of the service be increased to ten companies, and formed into a regiment, entitled the New Brunswick Regiment of Artillery ; the distribution of which to be as follows: — At Fredericton, 2 Companies. At St. John, 2 Companies. At St. Andrew's. 1 Company. At St. Stephen, 1 Company. County of Westmorland, 1 Company. County of Northumherland, t Company. County of Kent, ( Richibucto), 1 Company. County of Carleton, (Woodstock), 1 Company. Total-10 CoTripaities. Each company to consist of one captain, one first-lieu tenant, one second-lieutenant, four non-commissioned officers, and 32 privates. The officers belonging to the companies already formed, are to consider themselves respectively attached to the same until further orders. The uniform of the corps to be blue, with red facinc!s, and similar to that now worn by the Royal Artillery. The button to be struck with three guns, surmounted by a Crown, and encircled by the wcrds " New Brunswick Regiment of Artillery." 'LIVERPOOL. APRIL 14.—Arrived the lVoodsteck, from Ja maira ; the Knowles, from Laguna ; the St. Leon, from New OrleaLs ; the Fairfield and the Favourite, from Savannah ; the Horatio, from New York, sailed 2.5th . 0f M'trch ; the Bri tannia, from Odessa ; and the Nancy, from Lisbon. FRANCE. ( From the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday.) CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SITTING OF APRIL 12. M. DUPIN, President, took the chair at 2 o'clock. The order of the day was the continuation of the discussion of the Bill for the regulation of the staff of the army. The Minister of Finances opposed the second paragraph of article 2, purporting that " general officers could be placed on half-pay, by reason of their length of service, only at their own request." His only objection was the additional burden which it would inflict on the public purse. The paragraph was, with the ensemble of the article, after some discussion carried by an immense majority. Articles 4 and 3 were then put and carried as follows: Art. 4—" When the staff in activity shall exceed the limits fixed by erticle 2, a promotion can only take place every three vacancies, unless for eminent services " Art. 5 "in time of peace all employments are to be exclusively conferred OR those comprised in the first section. In time of war the general officers comprised in section 2, will be also employed." Article 6 was then put as follows :—" General officers of the second section are to receive three-fifths ol their pay with out extra allowances." M. Fuichiron proposed, as an amendment, that they should receive but half-pay. General Bug, , eaud opposed tht amendment, as making a dis tinction unfavourable Co General officers. The article, with the amendment, was carried by a very small majority. Article 7, as follows, was then carried :—" Those General officers who now form part of the corps of reserve instituted by the Royal ordinance of the 13th November, 1833, and those placed in non-activity by the ordinance of the 28th of Novem ber, 1836, n ill be placed, according to their ages, in the first or second section of article 2." Article 8 was then carried, viz :—" The dispositions con tained in article, 9, 10, 1 t, 12, and 13 of the law of the 19th of May, 1834, arc applicable to General staff officers." M. A. Portalis asked if Marshal Marmont was still included among the Varshals of France, and if he had taken the oath. The President observed, that this was a personal question, and ccrald only be put when his pay was asked for from the Chamber. General Subervic said, that the Marshal had received the King's permission to reside out of the country. ticles 9 and 10 were then put, and carried as follow : Article 9.—" The reduction of the number of the present Mar,hals of France will be effected by their extinction." Article 10._" Every disposition contrary to this law is ab rogated." The ballot was then taken on the ensemble of the bill, when there appeared— For the bill f 193 Against it lO3 Majority 9O I The bill was accordingly passed, and the Chamber rose at 5. " The Bulletin des Lois of the 12th inst. publishPs the con vention signed on the 2d of January, 1138, by France and Greece, for the conveyance of the correspondence between both countries. The communications are to take place at least thrice a month on the part of France, through the offices of Paris, Marseilles, Constantinople, Smyrna, and Alexandria, and on the part of Greece, through the offices of Athens and Syra, but always by French steam-packets. Those packets are to be considered and received in the harbours of Greece, and particularly at the Pireaus and at Syra, in the light of ships of war, and to be free from alLnavigation duties. In case of war between the two nations, the French pickets will continue their operations without hindrance or molestation cr, the part of the Greek Government, until the formal notification of a rupture of the mail communications. Passengers on board these packets who should not think proper to land during their stay in the harbours of Greece shall not, under any pretext, be forced to go ashore, or liable to any search, or ;to the formality of having their passports legalized. 1 ; The postpaying of letters, but not of printed papers, shall be optional. The postage may be paid as far as the places to which the jurisdiction of the French and Greek offices re spectively extend. The convention is to last nine years. A letter from Hanover, of the 2d inst., in the German Journal of Frankfort, says—" The commission appointed by the Chambers to examine the new project of the Constitu tion, contains so many partisans of the Government, that there is no doubt that the report will be favourable to its adoption. Even if the commission does not accede on certain points to the views of the Cabinet, it is probable that an understanding will be come to, since M. Von Schele has already declared that the King will not insist on the unqualified adoption of the project, but will, on th e con t rar y, ag ree to all modifica tions which do not affect its fundamental dispositions. The Deputies are about to re t urn h ome t ill t h e comm i ss i on h as finished its work. The commission will communicate with M. Leist and M. Schele, who will demand, if necessary, the instructions of the King, and act accordingly." The Archduke Palatine of Hungary, according to a letter of the 2d inst. from Pest, is already indefatigably engaged in restoring the city to its former splendour. The ruined su burbs are to be rebuilt upon a new plan, the old narrow irre gular streets are to be widened, new streets and squares are to be erected, and boulevards similar to those at Paris are to be formed. There has lately been found in the Vatican library a manu script containing songs written and composed by . A . belard, with the original musical notation. The Abbe Baini is employed in rendering them into the modern notes, and a German gavant, to who m thi s cur i ous an d va luable discovery is owing, hopes shortly to be able to publish it. We learn from Alsace that the railroad from Strasburg to Basle has been commenced with great spirit ; a considerable portion of the land has been purchased ; some of the embadk ments are far advanced, and everything leads to a fair ex pectation that this line will be completed before its rival, on the other side of the Rhine, is begun, notwithstanding the vote of the Chambers of Baden. Our readers who may intend travelling to Switzerland and the Upper Rhine will be glad to hear that diligences have commenced running from Friburg, and communicate with those from Paris. A mail-coach has at the same time been established between Carlsruhe and Zurich. We are sorry to bear that M. Lablache has just had the misfortune to lose one of his daughters, after an illness of six weeks. The amount of the different public Stocks of France on the Ist of January last was as follows :- 5 per Cents. (241,662 holders) 147,118,615 f. 3 per Cents. (30,186 holders) 35,788,053 41 per Cents. (826 holders) 1,026,600 4 per Cents. (2,595 holders) 11,978,176 (275,269 holders) 195,912,036 f. It appears from the official account of the Administration of Finance, made up to the 31st of December, 1837, that of the loans made on behalf of the commercial and manufactnring interests in 1830, and amounting to 32,000,000 f., including the interest, 21,681,000 f. had been repaid, leaving due 10,227,000 f. The Treasury calculations show that this balance comprises credits the recovery of which seems certain to the extent of 3,437,056 f., the surplus, 6,740,591 f , being composed of loans the chances of recovering which are more or less doubtful. _ _ After the high tide at St. Waast, La Hogue, the sea re tired so low that the remnants of the twelve ships of Admiral de Thourville's fleet, which were burnt and sunk t in 1692, were percepticle ; and several objects, such as balls, &c., were recovered. A Toulon letter of the 10th• inst. says :—" Accounts from Constantine, March 13, inform us that General Negrier had sent out a fresh expedition against a tribe sufficiently strong to bring into action 5,000 horsemen, and which had plundered some caravans on their way to this place. The General's column, which was composed of 2,000 men, made a march into the country which had not previously been explored. It was found to be very fertile, and many ruins were seen. On reaching the territory of the hostile tribe, the troops burnt the first douars they met with, and a severe battle ensued. The enemy, being superior in numbers, sustained the attack, but must have suffered great loss in killed; we had only a few men wounded. The column retired after burning many of the dou.irs, and brought to Constantine a certain quantity of cattle." Intelligence having reached Corfu towards the middle of March that the plague had manifested itself at Monastir, in Bitoglia, near Janina, the Board of Health of the lonian Islands ordered that all passengers and vessels coming from Albania, including Vostizza, should undergo a quarantine of 21 days. and the goods proceeding therefrom be kept 28 days, and purified in the Lazaretto. The plague had totally ceased along the right bank of the Danube to the north of the Bal kan, with the exception only of some of the villages of the district of Silistria, where numerous cases were still observed. At Lom, and the adjoining country, the epidemy was raging with the greatest intensity, but Bosnia, Wallachia, Servia, and the greatest part of Bulgaria, were entirely free from it.

ANTWERP, APRIL 15.—The Ilandelsblad of Amsterdam gives the note which it says was presented by the Dutch Am bassador to the Conference at London. We observe that the Ambassador says, that if there should be a want of unity among the parties interested, this declaration is to be consi dered as not having been made. The case here provided for seems to have occurred in consequence of the refusal said to have been made by Belgium to accept the Treaty of the 24 Articles without :modification. —Journal du Commerce d'An cars, April 15. ATHENS, MARCH 24.—With the seam-boat which departs to-day NI. Von Rudhart, with his family, leaves Greece. The King, since his return from his tour, is engaged in public bu siness with increased activity from early in the morning till late in the evening. The salaries of all persons in office, civil as well as military, are to be reduced 15 present. As this plan is for the advantage of the State, no Patriot (and every Greek professes-to be one), can judge unfavourably of it, and it is therefore expected that this important measure will be easily carried into effect. PESTll„kritu. 4.—The number of persons who perished in the inundation is far smaller than might have been expected amidst the dreadful confusion. All that the Journals, even the most of those of Vienna, have stated on the subject, proves to be extremely exaggerated. The official list published to day, mentions in all only 127 persons who perished in the catastrophe. It is probable that very few are buried among the ruins. The sanitary state of the city is improving ; to day there are but 200 patients in all the hospitals. The steam-boat Tringe brought yesterday two Turkish Ambassadors to the Courts of Vienna and Berlin, with very numerous suites, from Constantinople. They put up at the fine hotel the Ingerhorm, which was spared in the late disaster, and proceed to-morrow to Vienna, on board the Arpad steam boat. APRIL 2.—We hear that Rothschild's generous offer of a loan of 400,000 florins has been gratefully accepted by our city.

Two suns only have rolled over our heads since the last one set upon our worthy and beloved Governor, Sir James Car michael Smyth, Bar:.. His Excellency breathed his last on Sabbath evening, the 4th instant, at ten minutes past six o'clock, in the bosom of his family, at Camp-house, Georgetown, aged 58 years. We have often expatiated with peculiar delight on the many virtues, both public and private, which he whose departure from this scene of existence it is now our truly painful duty to record, so eminently possessed. Convinced of the rectitude of that dignified and just policy which has uniformly marked Sir James Carmichael Smyth's public life, from the day of his arrival in this colony until that on which he, for the last time, met his sanators in the Council-house, we have not failed to speak of it according to its merits. The public acts of his uncompromising justice and benevo lence have left indelible traces upon many hearts, and have made the poor within his benign influence deep debtors to his impartial philanthropy. Corruption and oppression have had their roots almost severed by his strong and well-directed strokes ; and the widow and the fatherless, who had no help in man, in him found safety and protection. His anxious solicitude for the well-being of all classes of this province is abundantly evident from the man: - instances in which he has destroyed sinecures, reduced extravagant salaries, and enacted impartial laws for the government of rich and poor. Sir James had numerous pensioners, to whom he gave a weekly allowance of money. The aged, the infirm, the lame, and the blind, were the objects of his peculiar attention, and the ap peals of the needy were never made to him without effect. The recollection of Sir James Carmichael Smyth, who was Governor of the colony of British Guiana from June, 1833, to March, 1838, will be long dear to many, and the fountain of their tears will be dried up before they cease to weep at the remembrance of his loss. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Liverpool Chronicle.) THE COTTON TRADE.—MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. This week the trade in yarns and goods has been unusually gloomy, and the prices of both are decidedly lower —in fact, are now within a shade of the lowest rates at which they have been sold during any time of the last eighteen months. It is quite clear that nothing but a very great reduction in the make can restore the trade to anything approaching to a healthy state. Many large spinners and extensive manufac turers are now, therefore, seriously contemplating the work ing of their establishments short time ; and though this will operate injuriously on immense masses of the working classes, still it is the only alternative against a reduction of wages. It is impossible to quote correctly the prices of any description of goods ; but this may be stated, that cloth, sold for 7s. 9d. a month ago, may now be purchased at 6s. 9d., and perhaps at less than that. THE WOOLLEN TRADE.—LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The business in both Halls is very dull—that is, little business doing in any department. There is, of course, an increasing stock, though that stock is by no means large, but which is still indicative of what cannot be mistaken—viz., that more goods are made than there is a demand for, which is a very different state of things from what was experienced about Christmas. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY.—We have again had a poor market, accompanied with still lower prices for some description of good ; however, rather an extensive de mand existed, but not such as to enable the manufacturer to keep up last week's rates. The propr;etors of Vauxhall have a Bill before Parliament, empowering them to dispose by lottery of those popular and delightful gardens. THE SUN, LONDON, AIONDAY, APRIL 16, 1838. IRELAND. (FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, APRIL 14.. KILKENNY CORPORATION.—The Kilkenny men are too vigorous and zealous to rest satisfied with half measures, and after haying partially reformed their Corporation, they are in the field again to complete the good work. On Wednesday next a meeting will be held, for the purpose of considering the expediency of repealing the bye-laws of the Corporation, which entrusts the power of electing the Officers and Magis trates of the Corporation to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Com mon-Councilmen, Masters and Wardens, and conferring the same power upon the Mayor and citizens at large. If this in stitute be repealed the Kilkenny Corporation will possess all the advantages which were sought for, and be purified from all the blemishes objected to, by the friends of municipal re form in Ireland. There is nobody in this country so un tiringly active and zealous as the far-famed " Boys of Kil kenny." MR. MARTIN, M.P.—Since the conviction of Mr. Martin for a participation in the Oughterard riot, there have been se veral memorials sent to Government, praying for a commuta tion of the punishment, or rather a remission of the sentence passed upon the Hon. Member, which would deprive his con stituents of his services for two months. A letter has been re ceived from Mr. Drummond, the Under-Secretary, acknow ledging the receipt of one memorial, and promising to forward it to the Lord- Lieutenant, who is at present at Normanby Lodge, in the county Kildare. It is confidently expected the prayer of the memorial will be granted. Christopher Fitzsimon, Esq., Mr. O'Connell's son-in-law, has been appointel a Deputy-Lieutenant of the county of Dublin. As the appointment appeared first in the Gazette of last night; the Tory papers have not yet had an opportunity of misrepresenting the cause of his selection for the honour, but they will not fail to attribute it to his relationship to the great Agitator, overlooking the fact of his being a man of extensive property, and one who was several times elected to represent the metropolitan county in Parliament. AN IRISH MAGISTRATE.—CoIoneI Irwin, a Justice of the Peace for the county Donegal, was last week convicted of having ih his house a quantity of poteen (or whiskey of illicit distillation). This upright Magistrate no doubt frequently sentenced poor farmers for the offence of which he was him self guilty. Another Magistrate, and a stiper.dary one, Cap tain Vignoles, was on Wednesday tried at the Carlow Quarter Sessions for assault, and only escaped by the illness of one of the jury. It is stated in the papers that nine of the jury were for convicting him of the offence, and only three for an acquittal. This functionary is a high Tory, and has given the Government considerable annoyance, both in the case of Captain Gleeson, which has been so frequently before the public, and subsequently. It is hoped that with such a moral conviction as the majority in a jury must convey, he will feel called upon to resign the office which was unfortunately con ferred upon him by a Liberal Government. MR. O'CONNELL.—Mr. O'Connell arrived in town this morning, and has announced his intention of spending the ten days which he purposes to spend here in a vigorous course of agitation upon the slavery question, arid other subjects of general interest. His manner and spirits are as light and elastic, and his appearance as stout and unblenched as we re member to have seen them these many years. Nearly all the Irish Members have hurried over to spend at home the recess, which they will probably lengthen out by stealing a few days from business. The collection for a monument to Curran, which I men tioned as in progress, is becoming, as it should, a subject of national interest, and the names of many of the Conservative leaders appear upon the list of contributors. Among them is Professor Butt, the editor of the " University Magazine," in the last number of which an admirable life of Curran ap peared from the pen of the Rev. Samuel O'Sullivan, brother to the famous Mortimer O'Sullivan, who figures in the " Fudges in England," and elsewhere. The list also includes the kindred name of Thomas Moore, only second in the affec tion of Irishmen to their great political leader, and the illus trious departed orator. Dr. M' Hale has written another letter against the Educa tion Board, but he is becoming so tiresome in his tirades that nobody thinks of reading them. This last epistle was the most violent of the series. He will hold no terms with the Corn mis,ioners or any who defend them, and he is quite indignant that they have got a new ornamental entrance to their office. The Tories ar: about to start a new weekly newspaper, to be edited by Professor Butt, and contributed to by all the clever men of the party in Dublin. It is to be a John Bull, without John's scurrility, or rather a Tory Examiner, which will aim to give polished and spirited political articles, and light and varied literary ones. The name of the new corner will be the Guardian. If it succeed to the extent anticipated a morning paper will be shortly started by the same party. Carleton, the author of " Traits and Stories of the Irish Pea santry," the Rev. Messrs. O'Sullivan, Ferguson, author of " Hibernian Night's Entertainment," and Mangan, the author of " Anthologia Germanicte," are named among the contribu tors, as is also Dr. Austen, though all the latter three are Whigs, and could only contribute literary matter. CARLOW QUARTER SESSIONS —THURSDAY. Samuel Vignolles, S. M., and Thomas Watson, Esqrs., were placed in the traversers' box, charged with having committed an assault on one Patrick Peacy, on the 7th of August last, during the election that was then holden there. After evidence en either side had been received the Jury retired, and remaired in deliberation for two hours; the fox e man then stated that there was no likelihood of an agreement, and one of the jurors having alleged his ill health as a reason why he should not be locked up all night, by consent th© Jury 'sere discharged—nine being for a conviction, three for an acquittal. The trial lasted from nine o'clock in the morning until eleven at night—fourteen hours. TITHES. The Waterford Chronicle says :—" We have been in formed on unquestionable authority, that agitation, with re newed vigour, is about to commence against this unholy im post. The proceedings of the parsons are maddening the people, who have determined once more to appeal to consti tutional redress for their sufferings. Ballyhate, we under stand, on Sunday week, is to be the scene of one of the largest Tithe meetings ever held in Ireland." THE CORONATION OF THE QUEEN POLICE COMMITTEE, GUILDHALL--SATURD AY. Alderman CorE.Laein, after the general business of the Com mittee was concluded, expressed much conceal at the seem ing determination of Government that the coronation of her Majesty should not be solemnised upon the magnificent scale for which there were such numerous authorities in former rc igns. The years and infimities of her Majesty's immediate predecessor were an adequate excuse for the curtailment of p :rt of the ceremonial, but in the case of the Queen there was everything that was calculated to lead to the expectation that all the forms would be most strictly observed, and that an en tertainment of tho most splendid description would be pre pared in Westminster Hall upon an occasion of so much mt• tional importance. He meant, not only that a perfect cere monial was due to her Majesty with reference to her crown and dignity, but that it would be of national importance to ievive the drooping condition of trade. The unfortunate Spitalfields manufacturers would be benefitted beyond measure by the stimulus w hi c h a com pl e t e so l emn i s ation would give to their labours, and the whole of the metropolis, and : of conse quence, the whole country, would feel the effect of it. Alderman Sir M. WOOO said that the Morning Chron i cle gave an explanation of the reasons which the Government had for dispensing with the most expensive part of the Coronation. The Coronation of George IV., which people were not very ikely to forget, cost a sum nearly amounting to 300,0001., and it was considered that it would be advisable, under the present circumstances of the country, which was only recovering from the prostrate condition to which a long series of years of mis government had reduced it, not to add unnecessarily by a pa geant to the burdens of the nation. He certainly thought that the economical course was the proper one. It would be recol lected that the Coronation of George IV. drew down innu merable animadversions, and that William IV., in dispensing with the extravagant part of the ceremonial, was applauded to the echo. Alderman COPELAND said he did not wish that the expense should be national. If five or six gentleman of the City would join with him in the business, he would put an advertisement in the Times, calling a meeting at the London Tavern, for the purpose of subscribing a sum sufficient to defray the whole of the expense of the complete coronation of her Majesty, who, he believed, was very desirous that it should be upon the most magnificent plan. He was willing to contribute 2001. or 300/., or, if necessary, 5001. himself. Alderman Piaiasaid that he would h ave no o bj ect i on to contribute in a similar proportion, b u t h e appre h en d e d t h at h er Majesty's Ministers would consider such a proposition an im pertinent interference. Sir MATTPIEW WOOD said it appeared from the Morning Chronicle of that day that the Goldsmiths' Company, of which Alderman Copeland was a member, was about to give a grand entertainment to the Queen, an d h e thought that such au h onou r was quite sufficient, with ou t an e ff ort to a dd to t h e splendour of the coronation. Alderman COPELAND said that the paragraph alluded to was totally wrong. There . was not the s li g h test f oun d at i on for a single statement in ; and any body w h o un d erstoo d what humbug was must know that it was all a hoax, from the absurd assertion that the carpet of the dining-room would cost 1,6001. He hoped th at his suggestion as to the coronation would be adopted by some gentlemen of publi c sp i r i t. Alderman PIRIE--I am convinced that we could with ease raise 100,000/. in the course of one week in the City of London. Here the conversation dropped, but we believe it will be formally revived elsewhere in a few days, on the argument of the benefit of trade. Her Royal Highness the Princess of C'apua's accouchement is daily anticipated to take place. We understand that Mr. Foster resigned the office of stipendiary Magistrate on Monday last; and on Wednesday that gentleman received a letter from Lord Holland, the Chancellor of the Duchy, to the effect that he bad appointed Daniel Maude, Esq., to the vacant office. —Manchester Guardian. POST-OFFICE REFORM.—We understand that the Committee appointed in pursuance of the resolution passed at the late special general meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce are at present actively engaged in in vestigating, the probable effects of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of Post•ofce reform upon the correspondence of this town and neighbourhood, and that some very valuable information upon the subject has already been obtained. It is desirable that those liartiel rho can furnish any f;:cts, tither for or against Mr. Hill's plan, should do to without delay.—Manchester Guardian. MONEY and COMMERCIAL MARKET. (From the Morning Papers of this day.) MORNING CHRONICLE.-Monday being settling day in the Foreign-market, as well as Easter Monday, which is usually kept as a holiday at the Stock Exchange, the chief attention of the brokers and jobbers has been directed to the adjustment of the accounts ; and to such an extent has it been carried, that this may, in fact, be regarded as the regular settling day. The only effect which it produced was a slight depression in stocks generally, in consequence of its proving what is techni cally termed a " bull" account, or one in which the operations for the rise exceed those for the fall. The accounts from the United States generally are of an uninteresting nature, and scarcely add any thing to the advices recently received from thence. The various measures before the Legislature, which the people were looking to with the greatest interest, remained in the same state, and it was still uncertain what would be the fate of the sub-treasury scheme, although the feeling was gaining ground that the Government intended to yield, especially as some municipal elections, which heretofore have always been in favour of the Govern ment candidates, had gone against them in their very strongest hold. The rate of exchange on England had fallen to 1051 to 1061 in consequence of the exertions making by the New York banks to obtain as much specie as possible, preparatory to resuming cash payments, especially as their determination on this subject had not been followed up in other places so promptly as they expected. Only a few days since we stated that the Bank of England had rescinded its resolution to forward specie to the United States, and it i 3 now in our power to say that this second thought on the part of the Directors has been set aside, and the original determination ordered to be carried into effect without delay. It would, indeed, be difficult to say why ,the Directors have so suddenly changed their minds ; however, we content ourselves at present with merely mentioning the fact. Amongst the arguments by which the volue of the Dutch securities is sought to be upheld by the journals of Holland, and the brokers in London who profit so handsomely by the heavy operations which are going forward for the private ac count, by a certain influential individual, it is attempted to be shown that the price of Dutch securities is not so high as those of Austria, and that the Government of the latter country isnot more entitled to credit than that of Holland. It is true the Austrian', like the Dutch, were bankrupt, and compounded with their creditors ; but here the comparison stops, for Austria has upwards of thirty millions of population, enjoys in general a mood soil and climate, and the mass of the people abundance of The necessaries of life, and, with the exception perhaps of Lom bardy, are more contented than the people of any other of the European states. The national debt of Austria is compara tively small, the interest well and regularly paid ; and as the probability of a general war in Europe daily becomes less, their military establishments will become much reduced. Holland, on the contrary, has only a population of 2,000,000, has nothing.to boast of in the way of soil and climate, the trade of the country suffers under the Corn-laws, which were pass7d during the connection with Belgium, to conciliate the latter, and which have brought the great body of the people into a condition of great distress, military establishments to sulport upon a most extensive scale, and the revenue falling off every year. Manufactures there are none in Holland, and though there are many rich individuals who lire on the capital acquired under more favourable circumstances, yet as a whole the people are poor, and the country will soon be one of the most indigent in Europe. Some of the shareholders in the British Iron Company are becoming much dissatisfied with the delay which has taken place in calling the general meeting respecting the change of the affairs of this Comp an y, ar i s i ng out of the late decision of the legal cause. The value of the shares-has fallen very low, but there is a strong impression amongst many of the holders that a clear exposition of the real state of the property of the Company would have a favourable effect, which necessarily oc casions the summons to be looked for with particular interest. MORNING POST.—The variations in the price of Stock since Thursday have been very inconsiderable. The transactions were quite limited to-day in both Markets. The following were the closing rates:—Consols 93}. for Money, and 93 for the May Aount. The advices received from the United States not being very favourable in a commercial point of view rather damped the Market to-day. The only variation deserving comment in the Share Market to•day is an improvement from 87 to 90 prem. in the shares of the London and Birmingham Railway, and to 29 prem. in in those of the Great Western Railway. Most of the other Shares have declined a trifle to-day. The Asphalte Shares were sold this morning at a fall to 14, but afterwards rallied to 16 prem. The London and Westminster Bank Shares have been sold at I prem., the Colonial Bank Shares at 1 prem., and the British North American Bank Shares also at 1 prem. per Share. TIMES. —The speech of Senor Mendizabal, in the Spanish Cortes on the 30th ultimo, just received, in the discussion about the Aguado Loan, is full of curious particulars, as might be expected from his practical acquaintance with mat ters of loans and finance. One of the more particular items, as affecting the interests of the bondholders here, is the state ment of the revenue and expenditure according to estimates presented by the Government, and reforms suggested upon the principle of the finance memorial of the 18th of August, 1837,• with other modifications subsrquently suggested. Ac. cordintr, to the estimate of the Finance Minister, the expendi ture for 1838 was calculated in gross at 1,939,000,000 reals, which reductions upon the scale laid down in the memorial would be dimished by 369,000,000, leaving the net amount 1,570,000,000 reals. This amount, according to a scheme for further cutting down the expenses, might, it was thought be still further curtailed, so as to bring it down to 1,095.000,000 reals. Among the items composing the deduc tions is 283,000,000 reals put down as interest on the foreign and int-rnal &lot, which, according to the new Government plan, was to be capitalized, and therefore no dividends to be paid until a given period. One of the ether savings proposed is by a discount of one-fourth, one-third, and one-half from all salaries, half-pay, widows' and superannuation pensions, by which 100,000,000 reals more would be economised. With all these shifts, however, the revenue, as compared with the expenditure, would s:il! exhibit a deficit of about 293,000,000 reals, that revenue being calculated net at 800,000,000 teals, after deductions made of 70,000,000 reals on account of the falling off of the taxes owing to the distressed state of the nation. In such a state of affairs how, M. Mendizabal a.ks, was the Minister to find resources to provide :or the interest of the new loan for five hundreed million teals contracting with M. Aguado? The surplus reve nues of Cute, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands, were said to be all, or nearly all, anticipated. New war taxes, to the amount of 70,000,000 !Tills, were proposed to be levied, but these it would .seem problematical if the nation, already so grievously burdened, would be able to support. He stated, if the Minister would examine the documents con nected with the issues from the Spanish Treasury, from 1824 to 1832, he would find that they amounted to upwards of 1 ,700,000,000 reals, of which the Treasury received in value for 402,000,000 reals only, whilst the commissions and charges reached the sum of 140,000,000 reals more. The issues alluded to referred, it may be supposed, to the loans contracted dur ing the time of Ferdinand with Senor Aguado and others. The firs,t article of the loan project, it it stated in private letters, was carried by a majority of 120 against G. M. Men dizabel proposed an amendment that the loan should be not on commission ; but after speeches from Toreno, Martinez de la Rosa, and several other members, the motion was withdrawn. The stock in Madrid was 19 3- 16ths to i• CLAMMING JURYMEN.—A curious circumstance occurred during the last Sheffield Sessions. Before the trial of one of the prisoners, against whom there were twu indict ments, the jury had been allowed to go out for a few minutes. Mr. Wild, the constable, happened to be standing near the door of the Sessions'-room, when the jury were returning, and heard a juryman say to the uncle of the prisoner, " I'll do the best I can for him." The prisoner was :acquitted on the first indictment, which led Wild to attach more importance to the expression than he bad done at first ; and he therefore mentioned the fact to the solicitor for the prosecution. It was then stated to the Counsel for the prosecution, and by him to the Court. Wild was called into the witness-box, and having verified his statement on oath, the juryman was dis missed, and another put in his place. In another case, where the evidence was very conflicting, there was apparently a ma jority in favour of the prisoner's innocence : one of them, how ever, insisted he was guilty, and said, " If they thought to clam him they were mistaken, as he could stand clamming with the best of them," and added that he had prepared for it The consequence of his threat was, the prisoner was found guilty, Out recommended to mercy. As " clamming" may not be intelligible to our distant readers, it means "starving" the dissentients into acquiescence. Sheffield Mercury. Within the last few days large posting and hand bills have been extensively distributed about the metropolis offering a reward of ten guineas to any person who can give any information likely to lead to the discovery of Mr. John Sampson, an independent gentleman, a resident of the city of Bath, who has been missing ever since the 24th of November last. It appears that on that day the unfortunate gentleman arrived in London by the Bath coach, and the last trace that has been learned of him has been that he went during the afternoon to the counting-house •f Messrs. Forbes and Co., in King William-street, where he received a considerable sum, the amount of an order, from which time he has never been heard of, notwithstanding every exertion has been used by his friends and by the metropolitan police to obtain in formation respecting him. The greatest fears are therefore entertained that the unfortunate gentleman, being a stranger in London, has been inveigled by some villanous sharper into one of those dens of infamy with which the metropolis abounds, and basely murdered for the sake of the money in his possession. He is described as being about sixty-seven years of age, and five feet six inches high ; gray eyes ; very little hair, and that nearly white ; no whiskers ; the figure slight, and had on when he left Bath a dark bottle-green crock-coat, buff waistcoat, and red neckcloth, gaiters and fhocs. •--- - GOOD FRIDAY.---No Good Friday, for many years, has been observed in the metropolis with so much out ward decency, as that which has just past ; of course the lead ing shops were all closed, but in many parts of the town, where it was formerly the custom to carry on business quite openly, no trace of business could be seen. The suppression of the "sports" at Chalk Farm had a most beneficial ten tency, as not one half of the usual assemblage of thieves and prostitutes was collected. Placards were posted about the premises, reflecting on the conduct of the Magistrates, and announcing the "amusements" for a future occasion. One day last week between 3,000 and 4,000 re markably fine mullet were enclosed in one seen at Whitesend j o y, tl:e Land's End, and afterwards sold at Penzance for 6d. each. WINDSOR.-SUNDAY. The Queen rode obt yesterday, attended by her usual suite. Her Majesty also walked for some time on the new terrace, and in the slopes. The former was open to the public, and will continue so until Tuesday next. The company at dinner yesterday was the same as the pre vious days, and the Queen's chamber musicians performed again in the evening in the music room. The Queen and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by their suites, went to St. George's Chapel this morning. In the carriage with the Queen were the Duchess of Kent and Lady Portman. The prayers were read by the Rec. Mr. Knyvett, Minor Canon, and the Rev. Dr. Goodall, Provost of Eton, and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Cust officiated at the altar, and the latter preached a very excellent sermon. The anthem was " He was cut off," and the chorus, " Lift up pour heads." Mr. Elvey presided at the organ, and played in his usual masterly and effective style. The Queen did not stay for the sacrament, nor the Duche:s of Kent. There have been no arrivals at the Castle as yet, tut tF e Duke of Argyll, and Lord and Lady Jo'in Russell are ex• pected to morrow. The Queen did not go out after her return from Church this morning. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester, and Prince George of Cambridge, and his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar at tended Divine service yesterday morning in the Chapel Royal St. James's. The Archbishop of York preached the sermon. The anthem was, " If we believe that Jesus died" (Boyce). Sir George Smart presided at the organ. The Marquis of Sligo, Earls of Clarendon and Cawdor, Lords Elliot and De Tabley, were amongst the nobility piesent. After the service, the Queen Dowager, the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge received the Sacrament. The Royal German Chapel, St. James's, was re-opened yesterday for Divine service. The Rev. Dr. Kuper preached the sermon. The Queen's royal alms were distributed on Saturday, by Mr. Hanby, at the Almonry-office, to the Mauuday men and women placed on the supernumerary lists, owing to the differ ence of the ages between the late King and her present Majesty. Both man and women received 21. 103. and 19 silver pennies (lacing the age of the Queen). To the men, woollen and linen clothing, shoes and stockings, were given ; and to the women, in lieu of clothing, 11. 1.55. each. The Maunday men and women also received 11. 10s. as commuta tion instead of the provisions heretofore distributed. Viscount Melbourne left town on Saturday for his seat, Brocket Hall, Herts.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRATEN MEETING. Newmarket, Sunday, Noon. The following list of horses in training here having engage ments in the above meeting, the appointments of which ap peared in this paper last week, will unable absentees to avoid laying out their money on such as are not in preparation. The list is numerous, but as many, owing to the frost, are not suf ficiently forward to show, and others not good enough, the fields in several instances will be select : Three- Years- Old.— Surprise colt, Gonfalon, Cobweb colt, Lord Jersey's Cetus gelding, filly out of Rowton's dam, Ro mance, Mecca, Young Rowton, Msgawiska filly, Masquerade, Quo Minus, Anne Boleyn, Allerstoa, Velveteen, filly by Red „lrauntlet, out of Varna, Bamboo, Clara, Daedalus, Brother to Cactus, Don John, Alemdar, Chemist, Industry, Inuendo, Cal listo, Goldpin colt, Morella, Unique, Barcarolle (Lord Albe tnarle's), Bullcalf, Variety colt, Lady Sophia, Ruth filly, Ca reline Elvina, f. out of Whisk's dam, Olio, St. Vitus, Wave, Acacia filly, Salute filly, Guava, colt out of Flame's dam, Saintfoin, Hawker filly, Anchorite, Sovenir colt, Thebes colt, Nlanto colt, Tragedy filly, Quo Minus, Mercy colt, Jeannette colt, Abdallah, Katherina filly, Willibert, colt out of Dervise's ' dam, Tableau, Tivoli, Aurora colt, The Rubber, and JIB. Four-Years-Old and upwards.—Mango, Mahometan, reed, Hybiscus, Dardanelles, Troilus, Epirus, Caravan , C°R' - hay, Quicksilver, Mie Mac, Corban, Egeria, Rat-trap, Rtibyt &c. &c. Bodach Glas (the Fairy colt), Seth, both in the Derby, and Mr. Biggs's Clara, arrived from Stockbridge on ThursclAY• The most interesting events to be decided in the course of the week are the Riddlesworth, the 200 soya. Stakes Ora Thursday, and the Port. For the farmer it is not expecte6 that more than four will start. The Cobweb, Surprise, and Variety colts are likely to be three of the lot. Lord Ches terfield's filly is also talked of ; and it is even hinted that Lord Jersey will run, and, if he can, win with his gelding. As much uncertainty prevails on this important point b e tting is out of the question. For the 200 sovs. Stakes Cobweb wilt have to meet Don John, winner of the Champagne Stakes aud two other races last year. Lord Exeter has a horse ( Brother to Cactus) in the same stake, so that the result will in all er(,bability bring about some changes in the Derby betting. The Port will no doubt prove very attractive to the public, inasmuch as it will bring together Caravan, second to Phos phoi us for the Derby, and Epirus, who fell early in the race for the Great St. Leger, never having been out either before or since. He had been highly tried, and was then, as he is now, very much fancied. For the Claret Jereed, who was amiss all last year, is said to be "fit," and not unlikely to come out:in:his old form. Hybiscus and Mango are expected to shoo; for it. The Stakes in the list for to-morrow are the Craven, two Handicaps (these three close to-night), the Rid- Wesworth, and 150 soy. Stakes, for which Lord Tavistock's filly will not run. The match is doubtful. Mr. T. A. Smith's Captain Rock, and the colt out of Slight arrived yesterday, per caravan, at Boyce's stables. Arrivals.—The Duke of Rutland, Lord Jersey, Lord Suf field, Lord March, Lord Chesterfield, Lord and Lady Albe marle, Sir J. Shelley, Lord G. Bentinck, Colonel and LadY Alice Peel, Hon. G. and Lady Agnes Byng, Mr. C. Wilson. Mr. Greville, Mr. Irby, Mr. Elwes, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Won. rall, &c. From the number of lodgings taken a very full meeting i° expected. The weather seems likely to change to rain. , The horses that reached town on Wednesday from Stoegh bridge, on their road for Newmarket , were Seth, Beciac, Glas, and Clara; Grey Momus and Brother to Muley Moine" have not left Stockbridge.
